    I am actually celestial chipp player. And yeah i can agree that he has some big flaws, but the most frustrating thing is damn damage.

    Funnily enough as a pot main the slayer matchup actually goes pretty well.
    High HP means he doesn’t explode off of a single combo.
    Long range normals like 5H can poke him across his 2H or hit backdashes and f megafist goes straight over 2H.
    K mappa hunch or super mappa hunch can easily be thrown leading to pot oki mixups.
    If you’re really saucy pot buster can catch dandy step before the followups, especially if they use it roundstart.
    Also slayer doesn’t have the biggest anti airs, so j.S or j.H can bonk him too.

      Same with Goldlewis. BT Can catch most of his backsteps or dashes. I've hit so many Slayer 6P's with a well spaced j.D, or broke his pressure with a back j.D in the corner. High healthbar means I notice his damage but don't just immediately melt. I do get shocked at how much damage he does, and if my healthbar melts as fast as it does I feel for the rest of the cast.

    as an aba main (floor 10 about 150 hours in the game) I cannot play against slayer. it just feels like he's got everything a character could possibly need in a fighting game except for a projectile.
    crazy range with his ground stomp and a move that will immediately close the distance immediately afterward, unbelievable pressure and poking tools, a move that will literally touch you once and instantly break the wall. mixups, cross ups, an abundance of moves that feel like they come out on frame 3, barely any unsafe moves at all, a command grab that makes the next hit death.
    I just don't personally think he's bad at all and I struggle against this character so much. his buttons out speed all of mine in or out of rage mode, I can't enter rage even from full screen without getting Mappa Hunched instantly, and speaking of mappa hunch it comes out so incredibly fast (like all of his moves) that using ABA's 214s to absorb the hit basically impossible unless you just assume the slayer will throw it out and guess correctly.
    all of this plus his obscene amount of damage from touching you a single time, I don't get why people would think slayer is bad or even a mid tier.

    • @atomicwheeze8756
      @atomicwheeze8756 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ABA is already a guessing character, this isn't new, Slayer I feel is a unique opponent against her in that reading him is quite doable but failure to do so correctly has very big consequences. ABA out of JR can use parry, intertwine and tilt, haul and heed and 5H to call out Mappa and 2H, as both have fairly obvious use cases, and if Slayer is too predictable ABA can convert into JR. You probably shouldn't be trying to use 63214P in neutral anyway against Slayer unless you are at utter full screen, in which case he cannot hit you unless he has 50 meter, then he absolutely can. Focus more on finding an opening to the opponent Slayer's pressure, punish, end in Bonding or knockdown with 236s/sweep and 63214P

    • @atomicwheeze8756
      @atomicwheeze8756 หลายเดือนก่อน

      With JR ABA has fS, 5H, 2D, 214K, jS/jD to get in with their disjoint/profile properties and 2H/623H/236K to pressure as usual. JR probably shouldn't be activated a as neutral skip against Slayer, it should be as a pressure install considering if he wins neutral your JR is going to dissolve

    Slayer is just a newbie stomper to the max. His skill floor still gives such massive reward makes him a potent F7-10 killer, and it lasts until you get to the point of skill that I'd wager to say 90% of people won't reach. At that point the other characters are being piloted at such skill that their overall capability rises above the innate raw power of Slayer.
    Now is it a problem that the vast majority of people are going to get annihilated by him for potentially the rest of the games lifespan. Probably....but is the answer to just straight nerf him, probably not. Unfortunately, I genuinely dont see a way for his design to be both balanced for the lower level play, and competitive at high level play. He's basically just the inverse of HC/Asuka/Zato. Where they are (supposed to be) strong at high level but weak with a unskilled pilot. Slayer is dominating in low level play, like Pot and Elphelt.
    I would love to be wrong though, as regardless if he ends up being too strong in the long run, that would mean his design is possibly flexible enough to balance out.

    • @ezraho8449
      @ezraho8449 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The simplest adjustment would probably be to tune his damage down a bit without meter/counterhit that would make his grab more of a wincon.

    • @darkwrath9927
      @darkwrath9927 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @ezraho8449 My thought isn't actually his damage directly, but reducing his conversions through more startup on 6H and less meter off specials. For example, make it such that 6H cannot connect after 5P or grounded non CH c.S. Suddenly his very simple and very easy yet high damage routes are gone.

      The only funny thing is that he dominates at a low level not like Potemkin or Elphelt, but much, much stronger. When Elphelt opens a player with her rekka, she will deal less damage with a red RC than a slayer without it.

  • @remuvs

    I’d say he’s not OP, but he is overtuned. The main things to me are he could take a shot to his scaling and make Mappa Hunch more punishing to whiff. 15 frames of whiff recovery is pretty damn fast considering the benefits it can get.

    @SirTriton หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Just nerf the damage and he would be fine by me. A high damage combo is fun but slayer is just overboard with it. He hits you once > you get put into a 5 point combo > 50 to 60 % of your health is just gone. Other characters atleast have to do something fancier for that kinda damage (except goldlewis and Potemkin but their downsides are big enough, so maybe adding another downside to slayer would also suffice)

  • @bork7964
    @bork7964 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    On paper slayer is op as hell, but in practice he is strong in some matchups and weak in others (zoners in particular), he can open you up but it can be quite easy to open him up, the more people play against slayer and learn the matchup the more the public opinion will change from slayer op to slayer is strong

  • @DMD_Heal
    @DMD_Heal หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    I think slayer is good but I feel as if the reason he is so good is because so many characters struggle in his matchup.
    I play Baiken and that’s not a terrible matchup for me but the fact that slayer with no meter can do a combo that does more damage than a Baiken combo that is super advanced with tether and full meter just sucks. But I still think if you compare him to the high tiers. I think he is decently balanced as much as I hate to say it.
    But I don’t know if he is broken I think most of the cast needs to be adjusted to him not him adjusted to them
    (If you dissagree your probably right I am just saying this for Cope because I suck and I hate fighting him and I want Baiken buffs

  • @Xurnt13
    @Xurnt13 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    The only thing I really find OP about slayer is his super mappa hunch. As you said one of his main weakness is his neutral. Why does he have a tool that just wins neutral against zoners, the archetype that should counter his playstyle? I'm a mid tier player I'd say, (usually between floor 8 and 10) so there may be some counterplay but it feels like if you play a zoner, you just can't press anything once he has 50 meter.

    • @enclavehere4705
      @enclavehere4705 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Problem is without super mappa hunch slayer has an arguably harder time getting in on zoners(especially projectile zoners) than pot. Pot, despite his flaws, has a relatively good set of tools to deal with zoners(armored moves, f.d.b, stuff like that) to help offset his bottom of the barrel movement, while slayer sort of just has to fling himself in hopes a hole opens somewhere, and that relies on the enemy making a mistake, not slayer making them commit to something risky. super mappa hunch effectively gives slayer a once or twice a round opportunity to get in and lock the enemy in blockstun to try and win.
      If they were to nerf it they should honestly make it work like the "dead on time" overdrive in the previous games, with it being frame one(as in if you weren't blocking before the super flash happened you can't block on reaction like with reversal supers) with full projectile invul up until around 3/5ths of the screen, after which it effectively becomes a projectile along which slayer is flung that you can block on reaction if you weren't doing anything before the super flash.
      This would force the slayer to have to get a bit closer before sending super mappa out on reaction to any activity and give zoners an effective screen space they have to keep slayer out of once he gets 50 meter.

    • @Shareezz
      @Shareezz หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @patroka
    @patroka หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    Yeah, I agree with your analysis. I do think that as time goes on he won’t end up being high tier in high level play. However, because his insane damage and simple gameplan are simply too easy to execute, he is disproportionately good at lower levels of play, to the point where he is practically a carry character and is just not very fun to fight.
    Thing is, I think that is just as much of a problem for the health of the game as if he was legitimately overpowered, and I think he deserves a rework / nerf.
    Potemkin is a good point of comparison- big body grapplers are always proportionally stronger at lower levels of play, but he is balanced extremely carefully by gating a bunch of his best moves behind difficult-to-execute techniques, like his Kara cancels. Which means that players won’t be able to use them until they already improve enough to no longer be considered low level. Slayer, meanwhile, has basically all his tools available at the press of a button.
    That all said, it is less of a problem now that the tower isn’t filled with Slayers anymore, and the people still playing him have risen to higher floors. But still, they need to do something to make his gameplan less accessible to lower level players or I have a feeling he is going to make the game less fun for lower leveled players playing with their friends.

    most of the top tiers just ignore this and get started immediately or its vastly easier to start their game plan.
    Like slayer
    Also slayer has a funny way of controlling almost the entire screen with his great buttons/ specials and forces the player to sit outside of slayers 2H and respect him the entire game or risk losing after one bad interaction that shouldn't cost over 60% of ur health with holding mix on Hard Knockdown right after.

      @@zxt5148 its only that characters with something to set up are inherently both elevated and held back by their set up
      Some characters have no problems with this and are inherently better for it
      Not that it's the worst thing because every fighting game has this
      Think of shotos and hardcore zoners like guile or JP
      I'm only saying that in a game as volatile as strive a two step character is even more weaker
      Then normal
      Ex: sol hits u round start and he already gets positive bouns from wall break with a big dmging combo
      While bedman? Requires to build a error to get in then a hard knockdown then he can get started
      With little dmg to show for it
      More characters like this exist it's just bedman? is the best example
      Which is a lot more time not being threatening while the best characters are at almost all times which slayer is
      Jacko in my eyes is a perfect balance of a set up character that can continue being threatening with great buttons, decent dmg, can set up almost anywhere, and still a threat while setting up without hard knockdown.
      She is everything every other set up character wants to be
      Asuka is another good one but he is more focused on resources
      Also even lacking conversation ability will stop characters like baiken from ever being great while slayer is born with a single button 6 time combo that does 50% minimum with otg.
      Being a 2 step character as I said, is a inherently weaker but not at all does that mean they can't be viable
      But them succeeding will require more from the player By Design.
      Except for bedman? Though the buffs are still great, he might need one more move or small improvement to his kit. Anything big and we'll have another Goldlewis and I don't want that.
      Maybe Delilah can sudo enhanced a move for bedman like Giovanna's new move.

    Yea I can see slayer being a low floor menace.

I personally dont struggle with him too much compared other characters but i play more mid slayers and my friend that is good spam match up against me so I understand at least some the basic structure of his pressure.
    Personally for me, I like Slayers design and most Guilty Gear Stive cast. Compared to Street Fighter 6 (another good game i enjoy), everyone feel like they have more character specific strength and weaknesses that makes me think the game is very enjoyable.

    Absolutely a top tier noob stomper with damage and mix. But no defense and clear weaknesses makes him not too effective at high level. Fun ass character though I love his design.

    He's such a weird character, he feels like he's a mix between nago and milia/giovanna, because it does feel a little "chunky" but he's not slow by any means, neither has it felt too annoyng to deal with despite how capable and dangerous it is. Maybe i just haven't found someone good enough using it yet. At most they might reduce his damage a bit. Also i nearly shat myself laughing tryng the caracter out and goofing with dandy step with a friend, tryng to grab each other all the time. I couldn't not save the replay

    He looks op at a low level becsuse his easy high damage and gimmicks (which leads to big damage) expose the big gaps in your fundamentals. Add in that he is a popular edgyboy low floor dlc character, he randomly does very risky stuff that just happens to land on your chipp...
    At a high level, heck even at an intermediate level, his limited mobility and linear gameplan fall off hard, and he has to take stupid risks to do what a nago does casually (and safely) in neutral. He is skill check/ fundmentals check along with smellphelt imo. Very annoying, will have you looking into his frame data and counter play to conquer.

    • @ungasmash1256
      @ungasmash1256 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I used to agree with this but the thing is that just because the characters gameplan gets weaker doesn't reduce his reward when it does work. Every character's gameplay gets weaker as you start to play against people who know the counterplay.
      If you look at the characters' matchup chart on puddlefarm, Slayer's winrate actually gets disgustingly high as the player pool is restricted among higher tiers of play.
      This character has weaknesses yes, but this goes way beyond being your average scrub killer, this character is simply extremely effective.

      I'm not saying the characters is broken or lacks counterplay, but he's not just a scrub killer. He has plenty of nonsense that affects the intermediate and higher levels.
      I for one would really love to see him and A.B.A lose the ridiculous framedata on their gapclosers (-1/-2) and the startup on Slayer 2HS increased. At least Elphelt has to space her lariat for it to be safe, all you have to do on slayer is not press K mappa point blank.

    I think that slayer is a strong character, but unlike a lot of other strong characters, like sol or HC or Nago or goldlewis, or maybe even bedman as of the most recent patch, I think he's a lot more rewarding to bad play just because of how skewed his risk/reward is, the combo of his ridiculously high damage, combined with his health pool being the fourth highest behind only Pot, Nago, GL, and the fourth being asuka with mana who has the most health in the game, allowing you a lot of room to be wrong while your opponent can be wrong once, maybe twice and be dead if you have a good combo lined up, but that is one big thing with slayer, it works really well at lower levels simply because people are wrong more often, compared to at higher levels where people are wrong less and less meaning that while slayer would get more chances due to not being wrong as often, the opponent also gets more chances and slayer doesn't really have many options to mix from neutral outside of maybe a very hard dandy step callout, but even that can be easily played around by just not doing high commitment buttons or setting up a safety net like HC's clone or a returning bridget yoyo or a GL drone, or pot giganter or a jack-o minion or a tatami or a gun flame or a stun edge or a nago clone, almost everyone in the cast has some tool to cover themselves to be protected from dandy step in neutral if the use it with the right timing and in the right situation
